Check your mailbox!

Neighbors:

In case you did not receive either of my emails, here is the situation concerning our "snail" mail.

The mail carrier apparently neglected to properly secure the rear cover of the common mailboxes on the left side of the mailbox gazebo today. Thus, all those individual boxes are open to the elements and/or thieves. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY CHECK YOUR MAIL BOX, especially given the blustery day we're having.
